Hamas: 20,000-25,000 to 50,000 at most.

Gaza: 2 million+

Yes, totally the food they are hoarding for their fighters could totally feed 2 million people. Since exponential functions are hard for this user, this is 1-3% of the population. That much food, even with extra surplus, wouldn't last a day.

I can feel my own brain matter leaking while reading your take.
